Yea that was pretty ropey. Have you actually got the x10 fire alarm set up as a system? Or was that video a proof of concept?
It was one of many fire alarm systems that I have made over the years. Was a YouTube hobby where I would go and buy fire alarm bits, film a video of the parts working and then upload it to youtube. If your interested in other non-typical and odd stuff I have uploaded to YT, you can check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/elliottveares/videos?flow=grid&sort=da&view=0
How I have managed to live all my life without being able to open the garage door from anywhere in the world I cannot begin to comprehend.
Well I would go out of my way to find stuff that I could X10-ify, did the electrical work when my mum was out dancing and she would come back to a extra thing in the house X10-ified. Need I say the video was shot at my old house and I have not lived there since 2011.
Also thought I would share this photo of a odd/fake 5A fuse I found in the shed. (Yes it was filled of sand or something similar)
